Surely a camera centric device is going to obliterate the LG G3 with its 10 x optical zoom and xenon flash. And in certain conditions it will as you cannot beat optical zoom or xenon flash.
But have a look below at the camera samples, and decide which one is which and post your comments below. The first 2 are from the K Zoom and the last 2 from the G3. These are full resolution versions, so click to open up.
With these particular camera shots I prefer the ones from the G3.




Agreed. The G3 shots look warmer, and certainly seem more true to life. Can you confirm this?

Yes. Totally agree. Also look sharper. On close range subjects the auto focus of the G3 is excellent.

Yes Gavin, it is most true: Although LG took away any manual control from their camera, they did however achieve an outstanding move ~ the ability to have a true point & shoot camera.
Colours are so so right and the detail is phenomenal for a sensor of this size.
Okay part of that is the sharpening which some do not like but I am very pleased with the performance.
Anyway, if you don’t like everything auto simply use a different camera app which supports all manual features and for the benefit of other readers yes LG left all controls (ISO, Exposure, WB, AE/AF unlocked for other apps that support to use).
I never thought I would say this but for once I would be very happy to shoot all day in full Auto mode!!
